Kennedy smears President Bush and our troops on the US Senate floor:

Kennedy smears Judge Alito...Mrs. Alito in tears:
In suggesting that Samuel Alito had belonged to a racist conservative group, Massachusetts Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy relied heavily on an essay published by the organization that sounded like a bigoted rant.

Which makes it probably better that they pulled them for a day or two, or liberals will be tape recording the calls and playing to discredit the right with what a bunch of meanies we are. Whoever pulled them will suffer from the Laws of Unintended Consequences.
Some wild *ss conservatives would probably bring up Mary Jo, etc.
